"My biggest asset is my nose. It cuts through the air and I follow it as fast as I can."
His response drew a polite chuckle from the news reporters covering the games.
Spruce had learned long ago how to use his snooze and ridges to help with his aerodynamics. He was built for speed. Besides, who could resist that smile!

Saa loved Skiiing, unfortunately coming from a light clan she didn't have much snow to enjoy or practice with. Saa relished in the sensation of the crisp air smacking across her face as she whipped down the steep hills. She didn't know when she would be able to ski next. [i] "Perhaps,"[/i] she thought to herself, [i]"I could come back in the future so that I may enjoy the scenery.. I could take it slower.. Really take it in."[/i]
Soon, Saa neared closer to her competitors making them finally aware of her presence. She smiled knowing that this was about to get real interesting.

Poe steps delicately over the snow, barely leaving footprints. Snowflakes cling to her cape, so she hands it to a racing assistant. "Take care of this," She urges, "It's my lucky cape."A dragon of few words, this is as much as she has spoken in all her time in the clan. The ice gleams under her feet, and she circles lazily with a flick of her wings, stopping effortlessly at the starting line, nodding to her fellow compettitors.

Sky flies up to the starting line at the top of the hill, burstingly excited. "Hi everyone! Is this the line? When do we start? This looks fun! Am I too late?"
She nearly knocks over the adjudicator when she turns around too fast, bumping him with her wing. "Oops! So sorry! Didn't see you there. When do we start?!"

Bluemoon wakes up, shaking off a vast load of snow, shocking fellow contestants who didn't realize there was something alive under the mound near the starting line. "Apologies," He boomed bashfully, leaning down to whuff a large breath of warm air over a couple of smaller dragons to blow the snow off them. "I didn't want to be late. Always wanted to give this sport a try, let's have a good clean contest, and may the best dragon win!"

''OK, the curling event was a nice, easy start! Fierce competitors, but easy on my health. They managed to make a seemingly boring event super fun. Maybe I should suggest to one of our Scholars that we should make The Observatory's floors slippery with a spell of some sort; that would make it so much more fun to clean the floors! It's a good thing that I didn't overwork myself and I'm excited for the next competition. After all, if curling was supposed to be boring but turned out to be exciting, how exciting will the actually exhilarating events be?! Hm... OK, so which event will I choose today?''
He carefully considers each option and finally decides which one to choose.
OK, ski jumping it is! I wanted to join luge today, but that actually seems a bit dangerous... so I'll leave that one for later. Hm.... I've never done ski jumping, but it sure seems like fun! Jumping off a gigantic ramp at super high speeds and then gliding through the sky before landing in full speed!!! Dragon, oh dragon... this will be so cool!!! Oh wait, ''cool'' haha, that's a pun! I'm really feeling it today, so hopefully it'll be a great day.
He happily strolls away towards the competition grounds and he's excited for all the cool competitions he wants to participate in.

[size=4][font=Georgia]"Wait...why did I want to do this?" Hielo found himself pacing anxiously near the top of the jump hill. "Maybe I'm afraid of heights!"[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=Georgia]A few more.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=Georgia]"Snappers, maybe. Snappers can't fly."[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=Georgia]Hielo paused at the far end of his pace to watch the next competitor--a pearlcatcher--make her run. The great garnet beast had stowed her pearl in a backpack, and took a moment to tighten the straps after she slid out onto the launch bench.[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=Georgia]The pearlcatcher pushed off and Hielo watched in amazement as her big, floppy skis took her down the hill and off the ramp.

Maas found himself humming a silly hatchling's song about the Gala as he settled in for the night. It was the fourth day and he'd had his last race, tomorrow was the award giving ceremony and then they'd all be headed home. The whole Games had been funner then he'd anticpated and he was quite happy to have accompanied Vivace this year. He wasn't sure if he'd do it again but it had still been fun. It'd been fun completely seperately from Lithen as well which was a rare happenstance. Sure they argued about not competeing in the same event and they both said they'd get first place to the other's third but it was truly impossible to know until tomorrow. It was a nice change of pace for once though Caller and Warden forbid if she actually won a medal and he didn't, he'd never live it down!

Breccia chuckled as her solid form slid across the carefully pebbled ice. When Ypestis, the energetic young tundra had suggested that Breccia enter in an event, this hadn't been what she pictured. But she was throughly enjoying herself. The Snapper had been assigned the role often given to polished stones, and the many contestants were taking turns sending her sliding along the ice and brushing the way clear. The faces of the dragons stepping out onto the ice only to see a large and smiling snapper awaiting them were precious. She spoke encouragements to them, and didn't mind when they sent her spinning instead of in the direction intended. Her sturdy hide made up for her element, and her belly rested comfortably on the ice. It was a fine day, indeed.
